Two sneak thieves, graduates from the
slums of some of the great cities, at
tempted to rob a mar at the fair grounds
yesterday, through the agency of that
ancient chestnut the nutshell game. The
gentleman whom the confidence men
attempted to i~nveigle threatened to both
thrash and report them, and advised the
couple to emigrate to Laramie. Nothing
short of a marked card poker game can
mislead the average man who is accus-
toned to the tricks and trades of the
hangers on who usually seek whom they
may fleece about fair grounds.

The Races.
A TRoT, PACE AND RUN.

There was no diminution in attendance
or enthusiasm during the races yesterday
afternoon. The grand stand was well
filled, while hundreds of interested spec
tators stood at either side of that edifce
and literally applauded the winning
horses as they passed under the wire.
The races were not so good as upon the
previous day, but. as an experienced
horseman remarked, every meeting has
off days" The first event on the pro-
gramme was the
WYOMING STAKES TRoT.
There were originally five entries for
this race, which was half mile heats, best
three in FIVE, but when the order bring
up your 3year-olds' was issued, G. B.
Goodell's bay gelding, Marquis, failed to
respond, The entries were: F~itchburg,
DIX. s., G. B. Goodell; Captain, C. s., S.
W. French; Western, br. s., A. Duffey;
Rushmore, b. s., Frank Powers.
First heat-After scoring three times
the flyers we're sent off in good shape.
Fitchburg led from the start and won
easily, followed in turn by Rushmore,
Captain and Western. All of the ami,
mails broke several times. and Western
passed under the wire at a gallop. Time,
1883. The winner had been a favorite,
selling for even money against the re-
mainder of the entries, or the field.
Second heat-The animals travelled
nicely, with scarcely a skip. They alter
natelY punched and trotted in a string.
Nearing the home stretch the horses took
positions in the following order, and held
their places until the finish: Fitchburg.
Rushmore, Captain, Western. By win
ming this heat Fitchburg captured the
purse. The time was l:3S, precisely the
same as for the previous half mile.
THE THREE-MINUTE PACE.
Pools sold lively on the pacing race.
1t was Cheyenne against Denver and the
representatives OF the latter city were
numerically, if in no other point, stronger
than this city's entry. The contestants
were: H. Altman's bay gelding Gyp, E.
w. French's bay gelding Danube and
Marshall Holmes chestnut gelding
Scratch. Mr.. French's horse was a hot
f~avorite with Scratch a good second and
Gyp an undesirable field.
First heat-Scratch set the pace and led
at a respectful distance from the start,
and bets were freely made that he would
win the heat. Danube and Gyp followed
in the order named. When. within
twenty feet of the wire Scratch broke
badly and completed the mile on a dead
run with Danube but a short distance in
the rear. Danube was awarded the heat,
Scratch second, Gyp third, Fine, 2:46.
Second heat-Danube could scarcely be
bought in the pool room, where the for
mer ardent admirers of Scratch had for
saken their favorite. The latter took the
lead, and although he broke several times
was not overtaken. Gyp showed good
speed, but would not keep his feet. On
the last halt Danube, winner of the pre-
vious heat, fell behind and could not be
urged forward, and when Scratch passed
under the wire he was nearing the dis
lance pole, while Gyp was within a few
yards of the winner. Time, Pap.
Third heat-Gyp and Scratch made a
very pretty race from the start, although
it was evident that Mr.. Altman's animal,
was no match for the Colorado flyer
the latter winning the heat and race easily
in 2:4S.
SUMMARY.

Help Along the Cause.

A friend of the Ladies' Relief a~ssocia-
ton offers the practical suggestion that
everyone interested in the cause make a
point of taking dinner and supper at the
fair in Keefe hall to-day instead of at
home. OF the merits of the cause it is
needless to say anything. Each citizen
should willingly contribute to this extent
and help swell the total amount realized.

The Other Strawberry i.

An officer who was patrolling Null
lett street the other day saw crowd
of people at corner, and he hastened
his steps to discover man sitting on
the ground with his back to tree,
while a score of women and boys
surrounded him. When the officer
made inquiries as to what had hap
pened a short, stout woman, with her
sleeves rolled up, confronted him and
replied:
"He's my husband. He's q good
for-nothing lazy bones of man, and
we've had row."
"What about 7"
swell, Pve had to support him by
washing for the last year, and he
b en- humble enough up to weeks
ago. Then he took so cents of my
money and went to fortune teller.
She told him that would die very
soon, and that ne would marry a
strawberry blonde with $50,OOO in
oash."
"Seyenty-.ive thousand dollars" "
my dear, said the man on the grass.
"You shut upl He came home
stepping high and feeling smart, and
halSan hour ago he had the cheek to
tell me l stood in his road. In fact,
he wanted to know when l was going
to dep
81 merely inquired" groaned the
husband.
"And merely left my suds and
jumped into him." she continued.
''It was a pretty even thing in the
house, but when / got out where !
could swing my right l gave him a
couple below the belt and tied him
up. Strawberry blonde-S75, 1000
secand marriage-humph! Pm his
strawberry! When l get through
with him I'll make that fortune teller
see Strawberries for the rest of her
born daysl"
"Well, be gentle" cautioned the
officer, as he passed on.
"Oh, l won't hurt nobody mol
nothing" she replied; and as the
officer passed on she lifted the mar
20 his feet and banged him up tn,
steps and into the house in double
entry style of bookkeeping that rat
tied the shingles.

Woolen Underclothing.

Among the many means by which
we seek to guard ourselves from the
effect of chill, there is one which
hardly, even now, receives sufficient
attention-the use of underclothing.
The majority of the male sex do,
indeed, show their appreciation of
its wholesome qualities but there
remains considerable portion of
these, and far greater number of
women and children, who prefer an
undersuit of other material. Yet
the superior advantages Of wearing
wool next to the skin are easily ap-
parent on reflection. They do not
depend merely on its greater warmth
and closeness of application. 1t is
further capable, according to its
texture and in virtue of its compo-
sition, of better adaptation, in re-
spect of temperature, to the needs
of various climates, and the changes
of seasons, than any other dress
material. Moreover, whether it be
fine or rough, dense or light, woolen
clothing, it is evident, exhibits a
special faculty for absorbing and
distributing moisture. 1t is this
property especially which renders it
the natural next covering of the con-
stantly perspiring skin. If one be
engaged, for example, in active exer-
else of limb, linen fabric will alb
sorb what products of transudation
it can, till it is wet, but will leave
much moisture unabsorbed upon the
clammy surface whereas, flannel,
from its more spongy nature, will
rest upon skin which it has nearly
dried, and be but damp itself.
1t is obvious, then, that in the
event of an after-chill, and this oc-
ours in summer as in winter, the
body is in the latter case most fa-
vorably disposed to resist it. FlNn-
mel is not less clesnly than linen,
though it may beless white; and if
the wearer bathe daily,it is surprising
how long it will retain its purity.
The disadvantage of skin irritation,
to which it sometimes gives rise, is
usually associated with coarseness
of quality or freshness of manufac-
ture, and is with nearly all who have
experienced it merely transient
condition. Women as well as men,
but, above all, children and the
aged, who are alike particularly apt
to take cold, should certainly adopt
a wooden material for their custom
ary undergarment. 1t is easily pos
sible to adjust the texture to the
season, so that it shall be warm
enough in winter and not too warm
in summer.

A Big Bluff.

The Middletown Transcript "upon a cal
culation on a sound basis" ascertains that
something like s46s, 900 was gambled away
in Wilmington within the space of one year.
Well, that is one way of demonstrating
that Wilmington is the metropolis of the
State, and big metropolis too when It can
throw away half a million annually on keno
poker and other iudulgeuces. Another way
of gazing at this large financial calculation
of our esteemed correspondent is to reflect
that one Of our journals can bluff the game
at single deal, and that is what another
esteemed contemporary Epery Epeping, did.
